To paraphrase Nathan Rabin, Evans had this unique ability to make his showbiz insincerity seem achingly sincere. His scotch-aged voice and smooth demeanor made you almost forget he ended his life producing “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” or “The Phantom”. 

Magary will be crushed.

Evans is survived by his true love, cocaine.

Evans’ singular persona that was so perfectly depicted in the film—deeply tanned face, oversized sunglasses, and big, booming voice—made him ripe for parody.

Open, brazen ignorance is a kind of honesty.
